| Logic and Emotion March 21st, 2016 by Bill Boyajian |
We’re emotional beings, so we build and nurture relationships by using emotion to connect with people. Emotions govern our behavior – how we act – whereas logic helps us to think clearly, and unemotionally. Whether in business, sports, marriage, or any relationships, our emotions can trick us, get the best of us, or get us in trouble. Our communications – verbal, written, or even nonverbal – are often best left unsaid, unwritten, and un-displayed. It’s easier to sleep on a letter response or an email than it is a verbal or visual response, but it is no less important. The value that logic provides is structure, focus, and rational thinking to decision-making. So how do we balance logic and emotion at home, at work, in our neighborhoods and communities, and even in society at large? Part of it involves thoughtfulness based on composure as opposed to reacting to circumstances and people with lightening speed, simply because we’ve always done it that way. Want to improve your relationships? Then be more mindful of your actions, and especially your reactions. Do that well and you’ll find the right balance between logic and emotion.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
